State Representative John Cavaletto made a stop in Vandalia last Wednesday and brought with him a $10,000 check that will go to the Vandalia Statehouse courtesy of The Altria Group to be used towards improvements at the historic site. Cavaletto says the Statehouse holds a special place in his heart and that this money to get things started is just the beginning.
And, Cavaletto says starting improvements with the windows is much needed as you can already see the effect rain and the elements have had on the Statehouse Vandalia Mayor Rick Gottman, Vandalia Statehouse Site Superintendent Steve Riddle and members of the Friends of the Vandalia Statehouse and Vandalia Historical Society were on hand for the check presentation.
